Dear members, Welcome to the second edition of our magazine for West Leicestershire be healthy be heard members As autumn approaches, the countdown to West Leicestershire CCG assuming full responsibility for the commissioning of local healthcare services continues. In July this year we successfully completed the first part of the NHS Commissioning Board’s (NHS CB) authorisation process with the submission of our commissioning strategy and other important documents. In September we’re due to be visited by a panel of NHS CB experts who will ultimately decide if our CCG is ready to take over the reins when primary care trusts cease to exist in April 2013. Turn to page four to find out more about this important process. On page five you can find out more about our review of the five community hospitals in West Leicestershire. Sincere thanks to those of you who took the time to complete our questionnaire and give us your views, your feedback will help inform our future planning for these services. In the last issue of our magazine we touched on proactive care, which aims to change the balance of where and how care is provided, and focus on prevention, self care and ensuring more consistent standards of
primary care. Turn to page six to find out more about our work in this area. Autumn’s a great time of year to get outside and get fit before the winter weather sets in. Why not take some time to stretch your legs in one of our county’s beautiful country parks. Find out more on pages eight and nine. Congratulations to Mrs Jean Spare, from Loughborough, who won the digital camera prize from the wordsearch competition in our summer issue. Turn to the back page of the magazine for your chance to win two tickets to a Leicester Tigers game. Wishing you a very healthy and happy autumn.

Tackling health head on
Meet our cover stars, the student members of the Loughborough Women’s Rugby Club, who prove that team sports are a great way to get fit High contact sports don’t often make it onto the curriculum for the average student, but for over 40 women aged 18 to 27 studying at Loughborough University, the rugby club provides an excellent opportunity to develop their fitness, build new
concentrating on advanced skills and preparing for games.” Rugby is not only good for the body with skills in kicking, tackling and rucking leading to improvements in strength, stamina and speed but it is also great for the mind.
…it’s a great feeling to come down to training or a game and forget about any worries or problems, even for a few hours relationships and help manage the everyday stresses of student life. With up to four training sessions a week preparing them for a host of league and town matches, team captain Jess Robinson tells us what she loves most about the sport. “There’s always a strong fitness element in our training sessions but it never gets boring as it’s always rugby related. We’re so absorbed in the rugby that we barely notice how hard we’re working. Our training is adapted to our skill level with newer players focusing on basic skills like passing and catching, and the more experienced players
“It’s a great mental release,” adds Jess, “it can really help through periods of stressful university work and it’s a great feeling to come down to training or a game and forget about any worries or problems, even for a few hours. “We have fantastic facilities in Loughborough and access to a strength and conditioning coach who provides us with fitness programmes we can follow in the gym. Stamina is important as a normal match lasts 80 minutes and players will usually stay on the pitch for the whole game.” Such a high intensity sport requires healthy eating and the
players are encouraged to eat a high carbohydrate meal the night before a game and ensure they stay hydrated during a match. Jess tells us that they’re also advised to eat enough calories to sustain their training and protein is particularly important to help with growth and repair. The team are also keen to dispel popular misconceptions about the sport, “Many people think you need to be butch to play but some of our best players are the smallest people on the team.” says Jess, “The truth is that rugby is a game for everyone and no matter what your shape, size or strengths there will be a position for you on the field.” The Loughborough Women’s RFC is made up of both Loughborough University students and Loughborough locals. The student-based team play in the British University and Colleges Sport (BUCS) league and made it to the semi-finals this year. If you would like more information on the club, contact Jess Robinson at j.robinson-10@student. lboro.ac.uk.

Before Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) like ours can take on full responsibility for commissioning local health services, we must be authorised by the NHS Commissioning Board (NHS CB) This authorisation process ensures that we meet the required standards of governance and that we have the necessary plans and processes in place to make the most efficient use of our budget.
Proving ourselves The NHS CB assesses us at a number of stages, the first being a 360° stakeholder survey, and the second a desktop survey, or in other words the submission of a wide range of supporting plans and strategy documents which give us the opportunity to prove
The countdown to commissioning responsibility
(on paper) that we are ready to take on our commissioning duties. As well as submitting documents like our commissioning strategy, we also have to provide case studies to demonstrate how we have involved stakeholders, focused on quality, and considered the needs of vulnerable groups.
Where are we now? We successfully completed this part of the process in July this year, and in September we will take part in the final stage of the process, a site visit by a panel of experts
including senior members of the NHS CB, a clinical leader from another CCG, an independent lay assessor and finance and commissioning experts. This visit will determine whether we have met all the necessary requirements, and if successful, we will be able to take on full commissioning responsibility in the area from April 2013. You can find out more about the authorisation process on the NHS CB website at: www. commissioningboard.nhs.uk/

Community hospitals
– the way forward
This summer we carried out a review of services at our five community hospitals in West Leicestershire. The review aimed to make sure that the care provided meets patients’ needs and also to look at how the hospitals can be best used in the future The five hospitals in West Leicestershire are: • Loughborough Hospital • Ashby and District Hospital • Coalville Community Hospital
A questionnaire was distributed to 380 stakeholders, many of which were then asked to distribute the survey within their own networks helping to increase our coverage. In total 372 people responded to the questionnaire. When asked what factors were most important in a community hospital, 95.9 per cent felt that quality of care was key, followed by patient safety (86.5 per cent) and then care provided by a clinician with specific expertise in a patient’s condition (81.9 per cent). Most of you were very pleased with services provided in community hospitals but indicated concerns around communication,
transport, use of beds and waiting times, highlighting areas for improvement in these services. Suggestions for new services included palliative care, respite care and surgery. When asked if any current services provided in community hospitals should be stopped, the overwhelming response was ‘no’. Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to give us your views, and those of you who helped distribute our survey more widely. These findings will help inform our future plans for delivering community services in West Leicestershire.

Care Proactive
Helping patients get the right care at the right time from the right people
Proactive care is an exciting project being undertaken by West Leicestershire CCG to improve patient care.
The main focus of the project is to make sure people with long term conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure problems or lung conditions get the right care, at the right time, by the
6 Autumn 12, Issue 2: be healthy be heard
right people. It aims to reduce the risk of emergency hospital admissions, improve quality of life and provide patients with a better understanding of their condition, leading to greater independence so they can be cared for in their own homes or usual place of residence.
Sounds great but how will it work? GPs will conduct a risk assessment on patients with long term conditions to identify those who are most likely to be admitted to hospital in the near future and those who need more help to selfmanage their condition. They may then offer the patient the services of a “virtual ward”. The virtual ward is a new way of coordinating health services in West Leicestershire. When a patient receives care in hospital all the team members including doctors, nurses and therapists work closely together to ensure their needs are best met.
Coordinating care in the community is more complex as team members do not all work from the same base. The virtual ward will ensure the care patients receive from GPs, district nurse specialist teams or social services in their own home is closely coordinated and delivered in an efficient way without duplication. West Leicestershire CCG is planning to have ten virtual wards in place by the end of 2012. Take a look at the diagram below to see how the Proactive Care patient journey works, including the type of health care professional who may be involved in a virtual ward.
How can you get involved? We’re encouraging patients, carers and the public to give their views and help out with the development of the Proactive Care Programme. There are a variety of areas where your contribution would be really valuable: • reviewing and influencing the information given to patients and carers about conditions • supporting the development of self-management • reviewing the Proactive Care patient journey to make sure that it is patient focused • participating in the development of a patient centred care plan. If you’d like to help or have any suggestions or queries about the programme please contact Cathrina Tierney-Reed at cathrina.tierney-reed@ westleicestershireccg.nhs.uk or call 01509 567793.

Walking
– take a step in the right direction
Autumn is all about change so why not take the opportunity to make a few simple changes to your lifestyle and get walking this season?
Turn your walk into a work out To get the most out of your walk you should aim to break a sweat and raise your heart rate, so your pace will need to be faster than a stroll. If you’re new to walking as a hobby, you should start each walk slowly and gradually increase your pace as you go. As you near the end of your route, start to slow your pace to cool down and when you’re done, a few gentle stretches can help improve your flexibility. 8 Autumn 12, Issue 2: be healthy be heard
The average person walks anywhere between 3,000 and 4,000 steps a day. Increasing your step count is not only good for your health, but is also a really enjoyable past time. Regular brisk walking reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, type two diabetes, some cancers and asthma, and increasing your step count to around 10,000 steps per day could also help with weight loss, general fitness and reduce stress.
You don’t need any specialist equipment, just a good pair of comfortable shoes or trainers that provide adequate support and won’t cause you blisters. Loose fitting clothing is also recommended and if you’re going on a longer walk you may like to take a bottle of water and some healthy snacks. Walking is also a great activity to do with your family and friends. Why not pack up a picnic, and take a walk around one of the county’s many great locations?
A walk in the park As you walk through Market Bosworth Country Park one of the first things you’ll notice is the diversity of flora and fauna on offer. With a planted arboretum, wildflower meadow, fishing lake and a bird feeding station there is plenty to see as you walk along the network of paths. The pathways are well cared for making the walk around the parkland easy underfoot and also suitable for buggies and wheelchairs. There’s also a children’s play area and picnic benches making this a great location for an afternoon out with the family. You’ll need to bring your own refreshments as there are none available at the park so why not make up a batch of our mini apple and banana muffins from page 14 to take with you? For those who want to increase their pace the terrain is reasonably level and your work out will fly by as the scenery flits between shady woodland and open meadow. Straying off the main park footpath and onto the public footpaths will also provide you with an alternative route across pasture land.
Find out more information on walking, including other local routes, clubs and parks at: NHS Choices: www.nhs.uk/ Livewell/getting-startedguides/Pages/getting-startedwalking.aspx Leicestershire County Council website: www.leics.gov. uk/index/environment/ countryside/walking.htm
If it’s wildlife you’re hoping to spot on your walk then the bird feeding station provides a great pit stop along the way. Peering through the specially constructed viewing areas offers the opportunity to view a variety of local birdlife as they perch on feeders strung between the trees. Visiting the park around dusk is the best time to catch a glimpse of local mammals including foxes, muntjac deer and bats. For more information on Market Bosworth Country Park visit www. leics.gov.uk/index/environment/ countryside/countryparks/ bosworthpark.htm where you can download a map of the routes across this beautiful parkland.

Are you flu safe? As the autumn sets in and winter approaches, it’s time for those at greatest risk from flu to protect themselves and their families, and get flu safe with a free flu jab Flu is a highly contagious infection that anyone can catch, and it can be a really serious illness for some. Those at greater risk from flu include people aged 65 or over, pregnant women, and those with health conditions such as asthma, chest or heart complaints and diabetes. From October 2012, those people at most risk will be encouraged to get flu safe with a free flu jab from their GP. The NHS in England is launching the new Flu Safe campaign to remind people that they should get a flu jab. Flu Safe is a national message to highlight the importance of getting the jab, and carries facts about flu to dispel common misconceptions. Flu is not just a cold – it can be a really serious illness for some people and it doesn’t just affect older people. If you’re pregnant, have lowered immunity or a long term health condition such as severe asthma, a chest or heart complaint, or diabetes then you should also get a free flu jab from your GP and get flu safe. The flu jab is completely safe, and it can’t give you flu. Everyone in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland who knows anyone who may be at risk from flu is encouraged to tell them how important it is so that they get protected. People who are carers and frontline health and social care staff are
also encouraged to get a free jab to protect themselves and those around them.
early and get flu safe in time for the winter.
The flu vaccine changes every year to fight the latest strains of flu, so even if you had a jab last winter you need another one this year to stay flu safe. The jab doesn’t contain the ‘live’ virus so it cannot give you the flu.
Simply contact your GP to arrange a convenient appointment and get your jab. It’s quick, safe and free for those most at risk from the virus.
Flu can increase the risk of developing more serious illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia, and can make existing conditions much worse. Flu can knock you off your feet and make it hard to look after the kids or go to work. In the most serious cases, seasonal flu might land you in hospital – it can even be a killer.
For more information, speak to your GP or local pharmacist, or visit www.nhs.uk/flu.
If you’re in any of the ’at risk’ groups, the flu jab is completely free and is a safe way of protecting you and your family in a matter of minutes. The best time to be vaccinated is at the start of the flu season from October to early November, so it’s good to get in
